great experience, best value!
we went to a 5 days honeymoon safari with kiliholidays. We visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro NP and Lake Manyara. Mack the owner is a very nice man he helped us with getting from and to the airport, Thomas the instractor was very pleasent and profesional, the food was nice, we got to see the big five and the overall experience was just great!
beacause we eat only kosher food Mack was kind enouph to bring us new dish, pans, and cooking only vegeterian food. it was a great service wich he asked for nothing in return, and it says everything about this company.
i recomend this company for everyone who wants a good experience in the best value for money!
thanks for everything!!

Great value and great stuff
We had good luck through the teviews before choosing our budget safari and chose Killiholidays and i think we were very lucky in our choice.
The money exchange at first seemed a problem because there was no paypal or credit cards but we trusted them and in the end everything was fine, Mack was quite relaxed and we had to trust him.
This is a safari that really puts you in touch with the people and the Selous, the driving looked daunting but the landcruiser was fine and our driver Tumsufi was excellent,he really looked out for us and could,nt do enough.
Driving through the landscape you really get a sense of the place and where you are heading.
I would not hesitate to do this again with Killiholidays all their staff Moses, Mack and Tumsufi have the best intentions in making sure you have a fantastic time.
In only one day we saw so much, lions,giraffes, elephants,hyenas,warthogs and hippos our only regret is we didn,t book for longer.

It was definitely one of the greatest experience of our lives!
Kiliholidays is a great safari agency! they have been reliable and honest. The car was exactly how I expected, spacious and with the "lifting-roof", and the tour was organized only for the two of us. One of the best experiences of my life so far! The guide was really helpful and competent, it has been really easy to establish a good relationship with him. Everything went without any problem and we enjoyed the wildlife and landscape of this wonderful place. After the safari we also met the operator manager, Mack: a really good man! We would definitely repeat the safari sooner or later!

unique and unforgettable
it was all nice. From the manager to driver. We spent a unique experience. A special mention to the guide as he gave us all the knowledge and explanation regarding the amazing scene we witnessed. So amazing, so thanks to Thomas, our guide. The agency was very professional and available. I recommend this safari operator. I really had a nice time with my wife.

Amazing Experience!
My girlfriend and I did a 4 day trip to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It was epic! We saw so many big cats, exactly as we wanted! Lions fighting over food with a pack of hyenas, cheetahs stalking their breakfast (gazelles), leopards sleeping in trees next to their kill, and so on. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about everything from the wildlife to the local tribes, and perhaps more importantly he knew every park inside and out and was always finding the best spots for us. We chose the "mid range" accommodation but for us it was total paradise, if it were us we would call it luxury! One night we had a view over Lake Manyara and ate a delicious dinner in a restaurant built around a huge Baobab Tree; on another night we were in a luxury camp right in the middle of the Serengeti and could sit around a campfire and watch "African TV" (i.e. the wildlife).
During the booking process, Mack and his team were super friendly, helpful, and professional the whole time, answering all our questions and even making special preparations for us. After we got back to Arusha they even organized an extra customised tour for us to see Kilimanjaro and some sights around Moshi the following days at a very good price! We would definitely book again with Kili Tours!
Awesome Guide/Driver
We went on a total of 3 safaris during this trip and without a doubt, Melkior is like the best. A very safe and experienced driver, he was able to get us to our destinations safely. He was also awesome at spotting the animals and we could see his passion in his job and his love for the safari when he was explaining things to us. Totally more than what we could have imagined as his explanations and anecdotes added so much more to our trip, making the whole journey unbelievable! Kudos to him!
